You are not blinking: When people are using the computer and been on it for a long time, as well as those who are playing video games aggressively, often times they forget to blink. This can lead to having a temporary condition with dry eyes, and it can sometimes make the eyes and head feel like there's some pressure there. This is because people are staring at the screen, and their blink reflex decreases. This usually relieves itself, once the person stops using the computer/video game.
